Best of Bob Marley
Description
Nesta Robert “Bob” Marley, OM (6 February 1945 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican
singer-songwriter and musician. He was the rhythm guitarist and lead singer
for the ska, rocksteady and reggae bands The Wailers (1963-1974) and Bob
Marley & The Wailers (1974 1981). Marley remains the most widely known and
revered performer of reggae music, and is credited with helping spread both
Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience. Marley’s
music was heavily influenced by the social issues of his homeland, and he is
considered to have given voice to the specific political and cultural nexus of
Jamaica. His best-known hits include “I Shot the Sheriff”, “No Woman, No Cry”,
“Could You Be Loved”, “Stir It Up”, “Get Up Stand Up”, “Jamming”, “Redemption
Song”, “One Love” and, “Three Little Birds”, as well as the posthumous
releases “Buffalo Soldier” and “Iron Lion Zion”. The compilation album Legend
(1984), released three years after his death, is reggae’s best-selling album,
going ten times Platinum which is also known as one Diamond in the U.S., and
selling 25 million copies worldwide.
